Mama Knows Nada

There's nothing I love more than being dumfounded by fascinating conversations. Dr. Jenny's expertise and ability to make complex processes seem simple are soothing qualities to anyone listening in. But also her conscious decision to shift her practice to better serve her patients drives the message that she's serious about health and wellness.   

Fusing her background in neurology and pediatrics with physical therapy, Dr. Jenny has created a wellness practice that treats the whole patient based on their unique and diverse needs. At @alltogetherwellness, she works with all ages for recovery efforts and educates on preventative practices to establish healthy habits for overall wellness. These tools ensure productive strategies when life inevitably goes off balance.

What happens when hospitality professionals become parents? They switch jobs, but keep the directive tone.   

Brandon and I chat about life after restaurants, and how managing people impacts the transition into parenthood and relationships, for better or worse.  

For Brandon, his profession prompted him to meet his now wife on the first day of a new job (surprise: engaged after about 45 days) leading them to become parents.  He also delves in to his experience as a child of adoption, what he was nervous about when he found out he was going to be a dad and why we wants to be present for his son. Talk about emotions of high alert.  

It may not be that kitchen energy, but parenting sure takes a fire to get cookin'.

During her training as a physical therapist, Claire was introduced to pelvic floor therapy and it changed the trajectory of her career. Not only is she passionate about the lifestyle benefits that can come from a healthy pelvic floor, she also sees that educating women before, during and after childbirth is essential. For this working mompreneur, it's also pivotal to be present for her two small children.  

In our conversation, she shares how she started her own practice, Merriman Pelvic Health, sooner than anticipated, and how she strives to keep a balance supporting women and engaging with her children.

Childbirth is serious and profound business, but Jessica Gillan, #yournocateedoula, always finds a way to relax and help moms unwind. And nothing helps stress and anxiety of labor like a little laughter.

Support before and after delivery is essential, regardless of how your baby came into the world. Recovering from childbirth takes a spectrum of time and adjusting to life as a first time parent--or fifth time parent--is just that: an adjustment. Because everyone wants the baby, but moms--and dads--need to be embraced as well.

In this part of our conversation, Jessica discusses how help looks different for every family and how a postpartum doula may be your ultimate ally.

Many new year's start with the resolution to work on the fitness...#amirite? Fitness after birth is a whole different game. "Bouncing back" from baby is hard. So let's be real, your body has changed. 

For many moms, embracing this new body can take some time. With shifted hips and fluctuating hormones, the journey back to your "old self" can seem a little daunting and kind of impossible.  So welcome to the new, glorious you, mama, and you can still be the healthiest and most fit mama ever. 

In this podcast, we chat with mom and founder of Fit Mamas Tribe, Lauren Giles, who specializes in fitness for women, particularly during pregnancy and postpartum. We discuss misconceptions, unrealistic expectations and what's ACTUALLY attainable postpartum and when.

Ernie and his wife were waiting or their miracle. When she finally arrived, they were met with some unexcepted obstacles, and Ernie found himself taking the caregiving lead, for his wife and baby. He shares his journey from those first precious days in the NICU infant looking after his tiny girl while his wife recovered, to now having a thriving, determined teen daughter (with his partner steadfast by his side).   

What I love most about this interview is how he and his wife are the definition of a team. They serve as buffers, sounding boards, cheerleaders and  reality checks for each other as well as their daughter. And all with love at the core. Tune in to his dadlife now.

So, you had a baby and your libido is, well, wonky. The hormone changes. The pressure of parenting. Sleep deprivation. A new body that shifts daily. We hear you. You know what? You are not alone. There's a spectrum of "normal" postpartum. Rediscovering your sexual groove may take some time...and what feels good may have drastically changed. 

Whether you're struggling with desire or raring to go, this episode is for you. In this conversation with Dr. Sara Sohn, pelvic floor therapist and sex counselor, we discuss finding a new normal postpartum, what it takes to have "good sex" and what you need to feel frisky as well as secure. Also, this isn't JUST for moms, it's for all people who are anxious or embarrassed about igniting and expressing their true sexual self.
